San Cristobal El Principe Mazda Miata LGR NOV 17 (CCCCRW)

[Deeg]

I admit, I'm not that much of a car guy.  But when it comes to a classic cigar in my rotation, the SCDLH Principe, this is the one that comes to mind.

This is about the 5th cigar I've smoked out of this box, which is on the darker side for the vitola.  It was actually a bit plugged (a first for me with the Principe) but a quick hit with the draw tool took care of that.  Burn was about perfect, as usual, and the flavor perfectly consistent with darker Principes - molasses, maple syrup, butter biscuits, some warm spice like cinnamon and ginger.  A classic 89/100.

Why the Miata?  Because this is a pocket rocket, first of all - it's a small cigar and car, both of which deliver every time.  They look great and act a lot more expensive than they actually are, and you don't have to worry about temperamental nonsense like you do with the fancier models.  They start every time and always deliver - not the fanciest or the biggest, but a great experience every time you turn the key.

I definitely see that comparison haha.

Interesting, I had a very dark box of SCDLH El Principe and I had the same issue. The majority had a very tight draw. Glad to hear your perfec draw fixed the problem!

Nice car by the way I love Mazda Miatas (Aka Mx5 in Aus). Speaking of pocket rockets - I have a Mazda Rx7  the rotary engine can be tricky at times but it's worth the fun.
